Bravissimo Acrylic Microfiber 50g: The Versatile Yarn for Knitting and Crochet
Bravissimo acrylic microfiber in 50-gram format represents the evolution of a classic: same reliable yarn, new color management. On Tessiland you'll find this 100% acrylic ball with an exceptional yield of 150 meters per 50 grams, perfect for projects where color variation takes center stage. Ideal for crochet and knitting work, this yarn combines softness and smoothness with an unbeatable value for money.
Unlike the large format designed for continuous single-color projects, this version offers a wider color range and allows you to play with different shades in the same work. Tessiland is the only e-commerce that displays the dye lot number directly on the product page, guaranteeing maximum transparency for informed purchases. Our customer service with real people is always available to assist you in choosing the right lots for your project.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: What are you really buying?
The Bravissimo 50g is an acrylic yarn designed for those seeking chromatic versatility without sacrificing quality. Let's examine in detail the features that make it a smart choice for your handmade creations.
1. Composition and Quality of Acrylic Fiber
The Bravissimo 50g is made from 100% acrylic with selected polymers of European origin. Each lot is individually checked before spinning, ensuring consistent quality standards. The acrylic microfiber used offers a soft yet stable hand, without stiffness, proving particularly pleasant to touch during prolonged work.
The conditioning and finishing process is completed entirely in Italy, ensuring yarn that meets European compliance requirements. The thread structure is regular and uniform, a fundamental characteristic for achieving well-defined stitches in both knitting and crochet.
2. Yardage and Project Management
With approximately 150 meters per 50 grams, this format offers excellent yield that places it among the most economical yarns in the standard acrylic category. The weight-to-length ratio allows you to:
- Accurately calculate quantities needed for projects of any size
- Manage frequent color changes without excessive waste
- Create samples and prototypes with limited investment
- Work in modular sections, ideal for patchwork blankets or multicolor projects
Modular management of the 50g ball is particularly appreciated by those who prefer to organize work in phases or wish to stop and resume without the constraints of oversized balls.
3. Workability with Needles and Hook
The Bravissimo 50g is recommended for needles3.5-4 and hook3-4, sizes that guarantee balanced work between stitch definition and softness of the final fabric. The yarn flows smoothly between fingers and on tools, reducing fatigue during extended sessions.
The regular spinning ensures uniform stitches without the need for constant tension corrections. Particularly suitable for:
- Amigurumi and crochet dolls
- Multicolor knitted blankets and throws
- Openwork shawls and cowls
- Projects requiring sharp color changes
The consistent hand of the yarn also facilitates work for beginners, who can rely on a material that "forgives" any initial irregularities.
4. Color Management and Dye Lots
The 50-gram format features a wider color range compared to the large format, specifically designed for projects where chromatic variety is essential. Important: the colors of the 50g format and those of the large ball are not interchangeable – different dye baths can generate tonal variations even for apparently identical shades.
On Tessiland you'll always find the batch/lot number on sale directly on the product page, an exclusive feature that allows you to:
- Purchase all balls from the same lot for guaranteed uniformity
- Check availability before starting large projects
- Contact customer support with real people to reserve specific lots in case of temporary stock-out
For projects requiring absolute color uniformity, we recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed from the same lot and visually checking the balls upon receipt.
5. Tolerances and Product Compliance
As with all yarns in the standard acrylic range, the Bravissimo 50g may present tolerated defects within 5% of the ball's weight. These may occasionally occur:
- Joining knots between spinning phases
- Slight localized fraying
- Minor thickness variations
These elements fall within normal production tolerances for yarns in this category and do not compromise the final result of the work. The product meets European compliance requirements regarding composition and safety of use.
Tessiland's transparency includes this aspect too: we prefer you know what to expect rather than discovering it only upon delivery. Our team is available for any clarification on the specific characteristics of lots on sale.
Care Instructions: How to preserve your garments over time
The Bravissimo acrylic microfiber 50g is machine washable on delicate cycles, using lukewarm water (max 30°C) and non-aggressive detergents. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners which could alter the acrylic fiber structure. To preserve garment shape and dimensions, favor flat drying on a horizontal surface, away from direct heat sources and intense sunlight. Tumble drying not recommended: excessive heat can cause shrinkage or loss of softness. Ironing, if necessary, should be done at minimum temperature and always with a protective cloth between iron and garment. To refresh without washing, outdoor airing is sufficient thanks to the anti-static properties of acrylic microfiber. Garments made with this yarn maintain shape and color vibrancy if treated with consistent care and gentle methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many balls of Bravissimo 50g are needed for a double bed blanket?
For a standard double bed blanket (approximately 200x220 cm) you'll need approximately 25-30 balls of 50g, depending on stitch density. With size 4 needles and garter stitch you'll get a soft fabric requiring about 3750-4500 meters total. We recommend purchasing all balls in the same color lot, verifiable directly on the Tessiland product page.
Is Bravissimo 50g suitable for amigurumi and dolls?
Absolutely yes. With a 3-3.5 hook you'll get a compact fabric ideal for amigurumi, where the yarn's regularity ensures uniform stitches and the variety of colors in the 50g format allows you to create multicolor details without purchasing large balls. The soft yet stable hand maintains the shape of stuffed dolls.
Can I mix 50g balls and large Bravissimo balls in the same project?
It's not recommended for projects requiring color uniformity. The two formats may present slight tonal variations even in the same color, due to different dye baths. For work where color must be perfectly uniform, choose one format and purchase the entire quantity needed from the same lot.
How do I check the batch number of Bravissimo 50g before purchasing?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce that displays the batch/lot number directly on the product page. You'll find this information in the details section before adding to cart. If you need large quantities or to reserve specific lots, contact our customer service with real people who will assist you personally.
Does Bravissimo 50g cause pilling after washing?
Like all standard acrylic yarns, slight surface pilling may form with use and repeated washing, particularly in areas subject to friction. The phenomenon can be minimized by washing on delicate cycles, avoiding aggressive spins and drying flat. Any pilling is easily removed with suitable lint removers.
What's the difference between 50g format and large ball for color choice?
The 50g format features a wider color range, designed for multicolor projects and work where chromatic variety is central. The large ball is instead produced mainly in basic colors (white, black, grays, beige) designed for large single-color projects. The 50g range includes vibrant, pastel and shaded tones not available in the large format.
Is Bravissimo 50g suitable for absolute beginners?
Yes, it's an excellent choice for those starting out. The regular spinning and smooth hand facilitate learning basic techniques in both knitting and crochet. The 50g format allows experimentation without major investment, and the value for money allows practice without worries. The recommended needles/hooks (3.5-4) are standard sizes ideal for beginners.
How do I calculate the quantity needed for a triangular shawl?
For a medium-sized triangular shawl (150 cm wingspan, 70 cm height) you'll need approximately 4-6 balls of 50g (600-900 meters) with size 4 needles and openwork stitches. For denser stitches like garter or ribs, increase to 7-8 balls. Always make a 10x10 cm swatch to accurately calculate consumption for your specific stitch and purchase balls from the same lot.
Does the yarn maintain twist during crochet work?
Yes, the regular spinning of Bravissimo 50g maintains consistent twist that doesn't come undone during work. This guarantees well-defined crochet stitches, particularly important for techniques like single crochet or double crochet where thread structure must remain stable. No fraying or loss of compactness occurs.
Can I use Bravissimo 50g for garments in direct contact with skin?
Yes, the acrylic microfiber of Bravissimo 50g is soft and comfortable in contact with skin. It's particularly suitable for cowls, hats, cuffs and accessories. For sweaters and cardigans, consider that acrylic isn't as breathable as natural fibers but offers good thermal insulation. It's also suitable for sensitive skin being compliant with European safety requirements.
How do I manage any knots present in the ball?
Joining knots fall within production tolerances (up to 5% of weight). When you encounter one during work, untie it and create a new invisible knot by overlapping the ends for a few centimeters, or cut and restart from that point leaving tails to hide later. These minimal defects don't compromise the final result of the work and are characteristic of yarns in this price range.
Does the color of Bravissimo 50g fade with washing?
The color fastness of acrylic is generally good: shades maintain vibrancy if you wash with lukewarm water, delicate detergents and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying. Darker colors may release slightly in the first washes: wash separately the first time. Avoid bleach and high temperatures which could alter chromatic brilliance over time.
